About Enamel

Encrusted enamels

Although enamel is often applied to a smooth, flat or gently shaped metal background, and retained in some way within a cell or recess, it is possible to enamel over a more undulating surface. This could be a chased or repoussé surface, or a more three-dimensional item.
